Sneezy, dozy, sweaty, shivery, achy. luggy and dopey.

That's all me, specially the last two. Both ears have been bunged up and it has been bzzzzzz, bzzzzzzzzzzzz, POP for days. The treatment has rendered me incapable of coherent thought, in fact of any sort of thought. Do I want a drink was a hard one to cope with at one point.
The bug bit me very hard and floored me in a few hours, I think Francesca sent it via a text message, and from fine to foul took from lunch to dinner.
 As the days progressed I have managed to skip read through a few books. Watch several episodes of Stella and a few less of The Sopranos, I tried to get it but just can not see what made this so successful. Perhaps I should wait a little while till the brain has cleared properly before having another go.
I have started to catch up with blogs, the news from Dawn was so sad, and have found a couple of new ones to read.
The house needs a good bottoming but will have to wait, hopefully I will be up to it next week.
I did summon up the spirit to make a batch of Pea and Ham soup this morning, it looks good but my senses of smell and taste have been affected. I do have a guinea pig who will taste it for me though.
I have a few things to get sorted and some books ready to send out, once I can make it to the post office. I am now sadly behind in the walk 100,000 miles challenge but will play catch up on that as well.

I am going to take Ben out for a little walk soon, I am sure that he is sick of plodding round the garden on his own. I willplay safe and use a walking stick, just in case.
The sun is shining after a wet and somewhat snowy start, the mountains were white this morning.
The forecast is a mish mash and I will wait and see what each day brings, tonight's trip to Pontardawe has been called off, I dare not drive quite yet.
A quick look at emails is overdue, I rather fancy that the delete button will be in overdrive, I will winnow through them and only read the ones that I have to.

See you soon, hopefully with something to show you.

  8. Sounds like you have the bug Keith and I had - only I had the temperature AND HOW and he didn't. He is on week 3 1/2 and mine is 2 weeks in and only now am I starting to feel more human. DON'T overdo things is my advice, or it will just come back in a slightly different format.

    I did some reading too (and have already finished my new Phil Rickman book), watched lots of daytime tv but managed a couple of outings to patchwork shops (as you know) so have distractions now!

    I hope you are properly on the mend soon and that housework won't run away . . .

  12. Feel better soon, Pam. DS2 has a bad cold at the moment so hoping it won't go round the rest of us. I've told him he's quarantined in his bedroom on the top floor, but he will insist on coming downstairs for food and drink! So selfish. LOL!

  19. Just take it steady Pam. I had a bad infection a couple of weeks before Christmas which knocked the stuffing out of me - onto the tail end now but I have found lemon ginger and honey all chopped up including skins and then some boiling water and leave to steep then you put a little into a cup and add some more hot water and it is very soothing on the throat and has helped clear the chest side of things a little. I do not do dairy when I have a cold of any sort as this helps declug the system. Hope you feel much better soon. Pattypan x
